MTV to bring Teen Wolf, The Shannara Chronicles and Fandom to SDCC

MTV has revealed its plans for San Diego Comic-Con this year, making sure to put one of its biggest shows front-and-center for fans. The network will be bringing the cast of the hit drama series “Teen Wolf” to the event, celebrating the upcoming season. This marks the seventh trip that Teen Wolf has made to SDCC since its debut on MTV. The network will also be continuing the “MTV Fandom Fest” and “MTV Fandom Awards.” If you are going to SDCC, be on the lookout for the branded MTV booth, it will be giving fans an all-new interactive VR experience on the floor of the San Diego Convention Center.

The network’s branded booth (Booth Number 3729) will offer “Teen Wolf” enthusiasts an interactive Virtual Reality activation using first-to-market gaze-activated technology. Fans will have the opportunity to meet and get autographs from a slew of MTV talent from “Teen Wolf” and “The Shannara Chronicles” set to stop by. Exclusive swag will be handed out throughout weekend including MTV portable chairs, MTV iFans, “Teen Wolf” fangs plus posters for both series, and other prizes.

The pack will reveal an exclusive first-look Season 6 trailer, share shocking revelations for the upcoming season and answer fan questions. Entertainment Weekly’s resident “Teen Wolf” expert Samantha Highfill will moderate the panel discussion and fan Q&A.

The “MTV Fandom Fest” and “MTV Fandom Awards” start at 6:30pm in Petco Park.
